Might as well wait for the DVD to release, wonder how much they will charge for it

NEW YORK, NY, United States (UPI) -- EMI has obtained worldwide DVD rights to Saturday`s Live 8 concerts in Britain, the United States, Canada, France, Germany and Italy, according to Variety.

EMI expects to release locally tailored DVDs around the world in November. Live 8 gave the rights to EMI after the music company pledged a hefty donation to the organization, the report said.
Live 8, concerned about worldwide poverty which kills 30,000 children every day, is holding the concerts ahead of next month`s summit of the Group of Eight nations in Scotland.
The group hopes to offer a plan to the leaders of the world`s top industrialized nations, urging them to increase aid to poorer countries, write off Third World debt and make trade laws fair.
"Music can galvanize people into taking positive action like nothing else," said David Munns, chairman and CEO of EMI Music North America. "We believe the DVD will capture the spirit and magic of what we believe will be some extraordinary performances and ensure that the message behind Live 8 will carry on and continue to resonate beyond July."
